Open the container and stir the frosting gently to ensure a smooth consistency. Use a spatula or knife to spread an even layer over cooled cakes or cupcakes. For a more decorative look, use a piping bag with a decorative tip to create swirls, rosettes, or borders. It can also be used as a filling between cake layers or as a topping for brownies and other baked treats. Ensure baked goods are completely cool before frosting to prevent melting.

How to keep the rest
After opening, cover any unused frosting tightly with plastic wrap or the original lid. Store in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. It is best to use refrigerated frosting within a few days for optimal flavor and texture. Bring to room temperature before using if it has become too firm.
